Ethiopia - Rural Capacity Building Project Impact Evaluation 2012

The Rural Capacity Building Project was launched in 2006 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) in order to strengthen the agricultural services and systems in Ethiopia to make them more responsive to clients' needs. The project includes five major components: Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Agricultural Extension Services, improving information and communication systems within the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD), and the development of agriculture market institutions. The project also seeks to improve women's participation in the extension system.
